Avatar Theme Week Central 5: Don't stop the theming!

[Duck999]

Welcome to Theme Week!

After the last one of these threads died, I am hoping we can bring it back to life. And, maybe, hopefully, we can finally, FINALLY!, have Formally Naked Dragon With Poor Eyesight Running Away From Pie Week. So, feel free to contribute, participate, lurk, contribute some more, and have fun.

This thread will be for suggesting new theme ideas and discussing old ones. To request, discuss, or show off avatars, consult the individual threads for each theme.

Here's how things happen:

The process for choosing a new week is currently as follows:

1. Nomination phase: People nominate new weeks by suggesting their Theme Week Idea in bold.
2. Voting phase: All of the nominated weeks are listed and each person can vote for their top three choices in bold red. You may also vote for a week. It may be good to have a week every 4 weeks so there is time for nominating and voting, and so we aren't changing avatars too frequently to keep up with.
3. Yay! We Won! phase: Once a week is chosen, one of the supporters for that week should make a separate thread for the theme week in question and then link it in this thread so I can add it to the archives above.

Let the theme weeks, begin (again)!

[Mono Vertigo]

IT'S BEEN SO LONG.
Okay, I'm nominating the theme of Alternate Art Style.
(By which I mean, let's say, if you have an OotS-style avatar, you could make a pixel one, or a realistic one, or an anime-style one, or one of the dozens other styles that exist!)

[Duck999]

As required:
Formally Naked Dragon With Poor Eyesight Running Away From Pie Week

[Scarlet Knight]

Asian Week ... a tribute to the old Kung Fu, Samurai, or Bollywood movies!

[Duck999]

anime-style one

Asian Week

I see potential in both of those.

[Durkoala]

I nominate Appeal to Obscurity Week, where you dress up to promote something that you think needs more love and exposure.

[Cuthalion]

That's formerly naked, Duck.

But I still think

Animal Week

Hat Week

Rain Week

Art Week

[Duck999]

If we give two weeks for nomination and two weeks for voting, we have one theme week each month. The two weeks of nomination seems a little stretched, but one theme week a month sounds okay.
What do you guys think?

[Scarlet Knight]

One a month has been done, but I think it depends on the workload for the avatarists. How hard is it to do ( since I am an avatar beggar myself) ?

[Cuthalion]

It really doesn't take much time, usually around half an hour for me, but a bigger problem is priority. How important is it compared to other things?

[smuchmuch]

That's formerly naked, Duck. [/B]

(Nope; it is formally. As in 'formally dressed'. Except naked so it's contradictory. That's part of the joke)

I checked after I got that response, and didn't change it upon finding it was correct.

AlsO: Explosion Week could be fun.

Nope. First time it was suggested.

Kris made an avvie of it.

[Duck999]

Huh. Guess I didn't go back far enough. In central 4, multiple people remembered it as formally. Darn those things that are supposed to be memory.

And now I know that Rawhide is the one that started it all. Mystery solved.

[Peebles]

I'd love a Steampunk week, but looks like one of those happened pretty recently.

In that case, seconding Cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk was already nominated, and we have not gotten to voting yet. I hope more people show up, but we may have to make do with what we have.

If this was meant to be a vote, it should be done in the voting phase and in bold red.

[Peebles]

Oops.

Evil Twin Week then.

[Durkoala]

Oops.

Evil Twin Week then.

That may be a little difficult for me...

Also, I prefer Formally NDRAFEP to Formerly NDRAFEP.

I like the idea of keeping the original, but then my original plan of a bowtie and monocle would not be as related to the theme.

[Cuthalion]

To be precise, here is the thing that probably kept it going, thanks to Kris.



'Cause then Rawhide put it as his avatar for a while.

Nice. Let's just suggest both.
Formerly Naked Dragon With Poor Eyesight Running Away From Pie Week
We could combine them and let people choose which they want.

[Duck999]

Asian Week
Formally/Formerly Naked Dragon With Poor Eyesight Running Away From Pie Week
Appeal to Obscurity Week
Animal Week
Hat Week
Rain Week
Art Week
Explosion Week
Evil Twin Week

[asdflove]

... This is back? Awesome! I missed nominations, but I can still vote!

Evil Twin Week
Hat Week
Rain Week

[smuchmuch]

Nope. First time it was suggested.

Wrong
This theme was made as a joke people, because I felt the theme thread was taking itself too serioulsy at the time. And also i had this joke where i combined the votes of people in a single avatar.
It's meant to be deliberately confusing, contradictory, over specific and weird as possible. I'm not sure weither you arguing on the words makes me very amused or very sad.
Do whatevr yu will with it but for the sake of the original joke, it's 'formally'

Kris made an avvie of it.

The fun thing is that he didn't like the theme and made the avatar out of frustration so Rawhie would stop nominating at every vote.

Anyhow:

Hat week
Asian week
Rain week

[Mono Vertigo]

Cyberpunk Week
Evil Twin Week
Rain Week

[Durkoala]

So many choices...


Cyberpunk Week
Formally/Formerly Naked Dragon With Poor Eyesight Running Away From Pie Week
